My HHR was ordered with the following options:

2LT preferred equipment group
Automatic transmission
Power sunroof
17" polished alloy wheels
6 disk stereo
Roof rails
Smokers package
Running boards
Molded splash guards
Premium cargo mat
Premium floor mats
Rear bumper cover

So far I have:

Tinted the front windows to match the rear (20% tint)
Replaced my stock windshield with manufacturer tinted glare strip aftermarket windshield from PPG
Replaced the stock antenna with www.SoCalHHRs.com stubby billet one
Replaced the stock Pioneer speakers with Audiobahns (including the tweeters and subwoofer)
Replace the stock plastic Pioneer subwoofer grille with a flaming chrome Audiobahn subwoofer grille
Replaced the stock grille with a Carriage Works billet grille
Installed a Carriage Works lower billet grille
Chrome skull license plate cover
Chrome skull valve stem covers
Chrome skull license plate bolts
HHR third brake light decal
Vinyl skull on the top center of my front windshield
Blue light up skull in lighter socket
Debadged
More to come.........

A few small projects first and then I'm probably lowering it. I'll probably put new rims on in the summer.
I need to take some shots on a better day so don't be surprised if the pictures change along with the modifications list.

The flames came from www.dansdecals.com but they are not listed on the site anymore so I don't know if they are still in the business of doing car vinyl other than window banners. I bought them several months ago so maybe they have stopped selling them since then. It was a generic non vehicle specific kit that I trimed to fit my HHR. The flames are glass ethching vinyl so they have a ghost effect over the dark silver paint. There are tons of places that sell vinyl flame kits. I just looked around untill I found a flame design I liked that came in glass etching vinyl and that's the one I bought. The pinstripes and dice came from www.twistedchrome.com. They have several awesome designs so nobody better take my idea. The Audiobahn logos came with my speakers. The ChevyHHR.net decal came from JonyyB. I had a silver flaming Chevy bowtie window banner from www.SoCalHHRs.com that fell victim to a piece of ice. I'll have another one on soon enough, like over the weekend if the weather allows. I didn't want to put vinyl on at first but I figured it would hold me over untill I can afford to get a nice custom paint job. I have had lots of previous vinyl experience so it was easy.

If you are paying for my trip to Florida I'm down. I could use a break from the cold. :) Hope you have a quick recovery.
